Scale-Master Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Getting close. That rear spoiler is very incorrect… And the engine bay is bland… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want Out-Of-The-Box, then you have to live with Out-Of-The-Box; fine craftsmanship will overcome much of the detail deficiencies.

To correct just the big things that can be seen if it were a curbside would be a huge undertaking, and overall, I am pleased with the way it looks. I have enjoyed building it, I don't think I would have enjoyed trying to correct the problems. The cool part is unless you really know the car, or put it next to a real one, most of the issues don't distract from the overall package. And thanks!

brodie_83 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Oh wow...this kit has not that great of detail for being a 1/8 scale...but with the hood closed, that is a darn good-looking kit and you did a fantastic job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjones87 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Looks great...I am going to be starting on the 82 Collectors Edition Monogram 1/8 kit. I will be replicating my 1:1 81 Corvette. Ya don't see many of the bigger Vette kits being built.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya don't see many of the bigger Vette kits being built.... Good luck with that, if it is based on this kit you'll see a lot of accuracy issues when compared to your real one. But at least the exterior looks close. This one is done.: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58660 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
